<p>A mixing valve for a faucet has a ball valve (16) mounted for pivotable motion about a longitudinal axis (76) and a second perpendicular axis (86) that is fixed with respect to the pin (84) that extends through the spherical section (42) of the ball valve (16). Distal ends of the pin are connected to a collar (46) that is fitted about the spherical section (42). The collar has cam stops that abut an edge (102) of upturned flange (104) of a seating ring (48). The spherical section (42) has inlet openings (90, 94) that are configured with convex and concave sections to produce a desired flow pattern.</p> |
